展示 HN:Gmail V3 的无边框插件 – 自动展开被截断的消息(Manifest V3)
我是一名来自比利时的独立开发者,最近几周我重建了一个旧的Gmail扩展,因为它解决了我想要修复的问题。
我开发的这个浏览器扩展可以自动展开被截断的Gmail邮件:那些Gmail会截断长邮件,让你每次都得寻找“查看完整邮件”链接的邮件。它的功能就是这样:当你打开一封邮件时,它会自动展开。你还可以更改自动展开文本的颜色和缩进量。没有其他功能:完全本地化,注重隐私。
对于每天处理数十封邮件的人来说,这些小摩擦累积起来会造成不小的困扰。你不会意识到这给你带来了多少成本,直到它消失。
当Chrome转向Manifest V3时,旧的扩展就坏了。我感到非常沮丧,因此决定自己修复它。修复后,我意识到这并不是一个小众问题:人们在Reddit帖子、GitHub问题和扩展论坛上都在寻求替代方案。所以我想:既然我反正要维护这个,何不认真做一下,看看其他人是否真的会使用它。
一切都在你的浏览器中本地运行:我并没有拦截你的邮件、分析它或存储任何内容。
我还添加了更好的错误处理和一个可持续的商业模式,以便有人真正维护这个扩展,而不是让它在某个无人维护的代码库中腐烂。免费版提供7天的完整功能,然后每天可以扩展5次,或者你可以通过一次性支付4.99美元或每月1.99美元的订阅获得无限扩展。但说实话,大多数人使用免费版后发现已经足够了。我并不是在优化最大化收入,而是在优化保持这个扩展的维护和实用性。

我非常希望听到你的想法,特别是如果你发现Gmail的用户界面在某些边缘情况下表现不同,或者你有其他值得添加的功能建议。我是在公开环境中构建这个扩展,并且真诚地根据大家的反馈进行迭代。
感谢你的阅读!

I'm an indie developer from Belgium who spent the last few weeks rebuilding an old Gmail extension because it was solving a problem I wanted fixed.<p>What I built is a browser extension that automatically expands clipped Gmail messages: the ones where Gmail truncates long emails and makes you hunt for that "View entire message" link every single time. It's just that: when you open an email, it expands automatically. You can also change the color of the auto-expanded text, and the amount of indentation. No other features: fully local, privacy-first.<p>For anyone processing dozens of emails daily, those small frictions add up. You don't realize how much it's costing you until it's gone.<p>When Chrome moved to Manifest V3, the old extension just broke. I was frustrated enough to fix it for myself. Once I did, I realized this wasn't some niche problem: people were asking for alternatives in Reddit threads, GitHub issues, and extension forums. So I thought: if I'm going to maintain this anyway, why not do it properly and see if other people would actually use it.<p>Everything runs locally in your browser: I'm not intercepting your email, analyzing it, or storing anything.<p>I've also added better error handling, and a sustainable business model so someone actually maintains this thing instead of it rotting on some unmaintained repo. The free tier gives you 7 days of full functionality, then 5 expansions per day, or you can go unlimited with a one-time $4.99 purchase or $1.99/month subscription. But honestly, most people hit the free tier and find it's enough. I'm not optimizing for maximum revenue extraction, I'm optimizing for keeping this maintained and useful.<p>Try it here: <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/trimless-for-gmail-v3/oibhbmliggcbpecnkjbdolkokcpmobbo" rel="nofollow">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/trimless-for-gmail-...</a> – you get 7 days unlimited to see if it's worth keeping around. No credit card required for the trial.<p>I'd genuinely love to hear what you think, especially if you find edge cases where Gmail's UI behaves differently, or if you have ideas for what else might be worth a feature. I'm building this in public and genuinely iterating based on what people tell me.<p>Thanks for reading!
